Outskirts of Konoha Village forest territory

"Kisame we have been scouted on."

"Yeah, can you feel them?"

"No, they are highly skilled... I do not think they are from Konoha though. That village is in too dire straits to send a team after us."

"So?"

"It looks like they want to have some fun, wh don't we wait for them to start the party."

"Itachi you are too soft, we should take the initiative to welcome our guests..." Kisame exclaimed pulverising a boulder near him with hs Samehada.

"You scared them away..."

"Damn I really wanted to play..."

" Don't worry, they'll be back, why don't wait for them here then?"

"Heh! You're learning Itachi, take the initiative, first rule of FUN!" Kisame gave a blood thirsty smile.

Sound Village

"Orochimaru sama"

"Are the sacrifices ready Kabuto?"

"Yes Orochimaru sama"

"Hehehehe... Lets go hunt us a Uchiha..."

"Orochimaru sama Kisame is also there..."Orochimaru gave Kabuto a death stare. Kabuto paled.

"I don't like interference"

"I -I -I u-un-understand Orochimaru sama"

"Good" Orochimaru walked into the forest.

Itachi's campsite

"They're here Kisame."

"Alright lets give them a party they will never forget!" Kisame picked up his Samehada and walked in front of Itachi.

"KISAME GET DOWN!" Itachi shouted as he rolled away, but it was too late. Kisame was held firmly by a long tongue while several needles hit him. Kisame dropped as the tongue let go. Kisame slowly but steadily got up.

"Heh you're too 100 years my junior to beat me with this trick!"

"As expected of Kisame... 'the seven way shinobi katana jutsu' ninja sure lives up to its name... But today I got no time for you. Kabuto..." Orochimaru stepped out from the thick foliage.

"Yes Orochimaru sama, Kisame san today I will entertain you" smiling smugly at Kisame who was barely standing up.

"Heh, are you always like this Specky?!" Kisame sneered at Kabuto, Although Kisame knew very well of his predicament he wasn't about to be a free frag.

"I think you do not know your situiation Kisame san" Kabuto rushed in front of Kisame prompting Kisame to raise his Samehada on reflex. Due to the numbing effects of the needles his swing was slugging. This time frame was more than enough for Kabuto. With a combination of seals he accumulated chakra to his palms, and quickly severed Kisame's arm tendons and shoulder muscles. With one swift movement from the position he switched to Kisame's back. Kisame already reeling from the tendon attack was hardly in any shape to even detect Kabuto. Kabuto fininshed him off with a paralysing attack to Kisame's back, leaving him out cold. To add insult to injury Kabuto" Since I won this fight today Kisame san I will keep this Samehada as a remembrance present"

"Orochimaru san, why do you seek me? We were once in the same orgaisation but you left. After that we had already severed all contacts"

"My my... Itachi, just because we aren't on the same oraganisation doesn't mean we can't converse once in a while. We were of the same village originally." Orochimaru hissed. Itachi stood his ground, activating his Sharingan.

Itachi

'This is not going to be easy. Of all the Sanins this guy is the strongest. But what is it? I can't put my finger on it but what is this aura covering him' Itachi's Magenken Sharingan kept whirling 'I can't feel him at all. All I can see is multiple layers of chakra being molded, as if multiple jutsus are activated at the same time... What kind of monster is this guy. This is not going to be easy.'

"Well well Itachi from your eyes I can see that you are trying to figure me out... Ha ha ha"

"You are doing mutiple jutsus at the same time... This is the frst time I am seeing this kind of technique. How?"

"Woaw, I am impressed. Well then I will let you in on my secret. I can capture the souls of ninjas and seal them in myself, releasing them as and when I please during battle. It was a long process and the wasteful thing was that many of them refused to give up their soul willingly, since they were no use any way they had to die." Orochimaru flinched. Itachi noticed realising something... There were side effects. Orochimaru also knew he had been found out.

"So you noticed..."

"Side effects?"
"The maximum number of souls I can hold is 11. And I can only hold them for 5 hours before their chakra start leaking out, of course slowly. Well as you know when shit loads of chakra leak out what amount of pain it causes."

"I can see that if the pain can make you flinch then your prey weren't simple"

"I don't use leftovers or rejects for my experiments."

"I presume that you are after me because you need my soul?"
"Hahahaha... What makes you think I need your soul? I can get souls anywhere but what I need now is your body... Your eyessss!!...." Orochimaru hissed.

"I see... But I cannot give you my eyes or my body"

"Hahaha... I won't take them for free, I will have the power to crush Konoha, when I do I will give you Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto. That way we both win... what do you say I-ta-chi kun" Itachi stood there unnerved with the icyness in Orochimaru's voice. He took of his cloak and cracked his neck and knuckles.

"Orochimaru san let's go"

"My my my I did wish things wouldn't come to this" Orochimaru blinked his eyes.

-seals- Replication jutsu

-seals-Windmill triple blade

-seals- Fire dragon flame blast

BOOOOOOM! A crater hosting a fire as big as a two stroey building formed and in it a figure was writhing.Itachi executed three jutsus to perfection in the blink of an eye. He called back the clones and stood there ready. Although he could see Orochimaru in the flames, he could be never too sure. He relaxed as the figure dropped to its knees. Itachi then saw the figure turn its head towards him.

"I guess I went too easy on him" readying himself. The flames started whirling around the figure and parted, Orochimaru walked out unharmed.

"Heh something I learned from the ex-Kazekage, wind control jutsu. So what did you think of my acting back there?"

"Impressive" Itachi answered flatly.

"But your efforts didn't all go to waste though..." Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, licking his lips," You made me get serious" "Impure World Resurrection..." A coffin started to rise from the ground. "Don't worry Itachi, you will greatly enjoy this. By the way I don't think you could copy this jutsu as you were already confused by my auras." A figure stepped out of the coffin, Itachi's eyes went wide in suprise.

"The Fourth..."

Itachi

'Shit this is bad. Orochimaru san on his own is bad enough but with this jutsu he could summon dead souls as well... How powerful is this guy?' Itachi called out 5 clones. 'I have got to make this fight even but then taking down the Fourth is not going to be a walk in the park either. My only break is to hit Orochimaru san and the Fourth with Tsukiyomi as well'

"So shall we begin Itachi?" Completing the summoning jusu by placing a talisman into the Fourth's body, the Fourth surged forward and with lightning reflexes threw a combo of kicks and punches into Itachi. Itachi parried each blow equally,with the 5 clones as well, but he knew that without his Sharingan he would already be dead.

"Not bad Itachi, but its 6 on one... Lets make it more fair" Orochimaru rushed towards the fight scene. Three clones broke from the main fight to face Orochimaru. One clone threw a straight kick but it was easily dodged, "Is that the best!?" The second clone came in with a punching combo and the third clone slided low rying to take Orochimaru with a low sweeping kick. Orochimaru jumped into the air, positioning his body horizontal with the ground and twisted away from the punches, the sweeping kick missing him and the clone slid under Orochimaru. Seeing that Orochimaru was in the air and open for an attack as he was evading the punches and the kick the first clone came in for a killer punch. But Orochimaru smiled sensing the first clone coming for the killer punch stuck out his tongue wrapped the the third clone, who had missed the kick, and pulled him in for defence. As the punch connected with the clone, Orochimaru gracefully landed on his left hand and cartwheeled to reposition himself. "I think I am done playing" Orochimaru spit out the Kusanagi sword and dashed towards the clones slicing one clone in the process before the other got away. Orochimaru sped after the other clone like a bullet. The Fourth was also finished with the clones and was sparring with Itachi 1on 1.

Itachi

'This isn't good. How the hell can anyone be this fast. Can normal human beings even beat this guy, without the Sharingan its near impossible to see him move. It looks like Orochimaru san is gonna be finished there soon. If I can get a few more clones out to distract them, then I can hit them with the Tsukiyomi'

-sea-....

"What the...." The Fourth grabbed hold of Itachi in the split second when he let his guard down to form the seal. Itachi looked on as a straight punch came into his face. The Fourth's fist landed squarely totally crushing his ramus; the crunch of breaking bone resonated in the forest for a whole second, which seemed like eternity, and then the as the fist left Itachi's cranium, Itachi felt himself flying 5 meters from the ground, catapulted to be exact, at incredible speeds covering 200 meters in the blink of an eye before crashing into a tree. But even the tree could not bear the brute force of the Fourth's punch, Itachi went through the the tree snapping the trunk, and started dropping altitude. His head touched the ground and that impact skipped him, forcing him into a roll before finally he rammed into a boulder. He stuck there, his entire body implanted into the huge rock. The Fourth and Orochimaru approached him, taking their time, and then stood there looking at the battered body firmly lodged into the boulder. Orochimaru picked him up, at that momment Itachi threw a round house into Orochimaru, dislocating Orochimaru's left shoulder and craked Orochimaru's jaw. With another swift movement Itachi bent low and swept the Fourth's leg, before the Fourth landed Itachi came in with an elbow to his gut totally busting the Fourth wide open. Orochimaru spat out his molars and looked at Itachi.

"Still full of spunk I see" and lashed at Itachi with Kusanagi. The blade sliced through his arm, which he brought up to block the blow with, and ever slighty grazed his face. With his left arm dangling save for the few strands of muscle which the blade didn't sever, Itachi cooly remarked" I guess you missed my fa- Ugh!... ARGHHHHH!!!!!!" The slight graze from the Kusanagi split Itachi's face right up to his left eye lid, and the skin seperated showing perfectly his whole eyeball and the neatly arranged muscles of his cheek.

"I guess I didn't" Orochimaru sneered looking back at the Fourth. The Fourth's body had regenerated and the Fourth stood up, staring straight at Itachi with his lifeless eyes. Then...trees started swaying, small stones started to lift off as if a wind was blowing them away, then as suddenly as the breeze blew the the entire radius of forest stopped moving. The trees stopped swaying, the leaves floated, and the flying stones floated in their trajectory as if they were in a vacuum... For a momment that is, because after that momment immense chakra accumulated on the palm of the Fourth, it was like being near a tornado, small trees were uprooted. Orochimaru was gasping for oxygen as the air around them got sucked in to the tornado.

Orochimaru

'The real Rasengan... What an awesome technique, heh... If only it doesn't consume so much chakra it might be useful for me, what the hell do I have to worry when I can summon the real creator... It saves so much trouble learnng it myself... But then again how the hell did that fox brat master this technique? Although it lacks a little power... That guy is dangerous. Rasengan at such an early age, and his power level is almost as good as Jiraiya to bring down Kabuto like that... He needs to be eradicated'

"Itachi thanks for entertaining me for so long but I guess its time to give up." Itachi raised his head and just managed to open both his swollen eyes.

"I will not forget this Orochimaru san"

"What are you talking about you fool, with this you will be gone and yopur beautiful eyes will be mine..." The Fourth rammed the Rasengan into Itachi's chest. The force was so intense that flesh started pleeling layer by layer, making its way to Itachi's ribs.

"So then for your eyes" Orochimaru readied his Kusanagi when he saw Itachi's Sharingan spinning.

"Haven't realised that you can't use Tsukiyomi on me as I am not of a single mind, you got to get my mind to see the illusions but if you can't see my mind it won't work. By the way the Fourth doesn't have a mind at all" Orochimaru was about to swing his Kusanagi when multiple kunais whizzed towards him. He dodged them but the Fourth was not that lucky. They hit his right arm severing his palm. The Rasengan being released engulfed Itachi wrapping him in the chakra tornado trying to rip him apart. The boulder supporting Itachi crumbled unable to withstand the power of the Rasengan, blowing through the boulder Itachi landed several meters away. His left arm dangling because of the muscle strands toally got ripped awy from Itachi. Losing alot of blood Itachi, totally battered, fainted. Orochimaru spun around to see who was the assasin, but instead saw more kunais. He parried each of them efficiently and realised that this wasn't meant to kill him only to distract him. Itachi was gone. Orochimaru called off the Fourth's summoning and slashed at the tree nearby.

"I was close, very close. Shit"

Kabuto

'I am being surrounded... 3 no 5 of them and they are very skilled. Comrades of Kisame san and Itachi san? Even I won't be able to take them by myself..."

A cloaked ninja lunged at Kabuto, suddenly from the forest, but Kabuto was more than prepared. He parried the attack easily. Then a second ninja lunged at Kabuto, Kabuto sensing the attack cartwheeled away from both of them trying to reposition himself but when he did Kisame was gone.

"So it was their comrades afterall... Orochimaru sama isn't going to be pleased about this"

"Kabuto" A voice hissed from the thick forest foliage.

"Orochimaru sama?" Kabuto bowed.

"Lets go"

Outskirts of Hidden Grass Village forest

"Orochimaru... He really messed it up this time." A clocked figure said.

"He isn't going to be fodder for us... We have to take him seriously" Another figure replied.

"I know... Itachi is more than enough evidence to convince me. He is the the best of the Sanins afterall..."

"Lets get back and get these two to give us a detailed report first."

"YES!" the others chorused in unison fleeting to their base.

Itachi

'This is the first ever time I needed to be saved. Shit! Orochimaru san... He is to be feared. He even knew about Tsukiyomi, a Sharingan technique... The worst part he came prepared for Tsukiyomi... Shit! Never before has my Uchiha heritage been belittled. My powers are only that far?! It can't be... Next time I will be prepared Orochimaru san and you had better watch out... The same techniques never work twice on a true blooded Uchiha... My Sharingan WILL end you!... The greatest of the Sanins will fall to the greater power... My Sharingan!'
